In the unseasonable heating of a spring and coil morning in 80 B.C., Gordianus the Finder is summoned to the home of Cicero, a advocate staking his reputation on the case involving the savage murder of the wealthy, sybaritic Sextus Roscius. Billed with the murder is Sextus's son, greed being the clear motive. The punishment, rooted deep in Roman custom, is horrific beyond imagining.
The case becomes a political headache when Gordianus's analysis requires him through the city's raucous, pungent pavements and deep into rural Umbria. Now, one man's fate may threaten the very market leaders of Rome itself.
